Chapter 237: News of the Kidnapping of Hermes-Epitek

late at night

The streets of Pyongyang are deserted, and apart from the patrolling troops that pass by from time to time, there is not a single person on the streets, and except for a few places where the powerful gather, there is still some movement, and there is not even a light in the other urban areas.

No way, before the emergence of the freak of special economic development in the Song Dynasty, cities in various countries around the world in the same period had to implement curfews at night, and the military purpose of the cities during this period was very strong, no matter what you did at night, you were not allowed to go out.

At this time, if you don't have the emperor's warrant, or if you don't have an emergency military situation, you are not allowed to move freely in the city, of course, if you belong to some privileged class, the general small patrol will not do anything to you, but if you really meet a serious officer, it will be very troublesome.

In case you run into a guy like Cao Cao, who has a little grudge against you or wants to take someone to the knife and thinks that you are a soft persimmon, you will be as tragic as Jian Shuo's uncle, and it is legal for people to take out the law to beat you to death, and no one can pick out the thorns.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, almost every household in the whole city was quiet, except for the occasional dog barking, and then it was quiet under the master's reprimand, the ancients all went to bed early, and at this time they had already slept deeply.

In the courtyard deep in a small alley along the twisting streets of Nancheng District, in a chaotic civilian area, some light can still be seen in a bungalow, but those who don't look carefully will not notice that there are still lights lit here.

But an experienced soldier can tell if he looks closely, that it is the people in the courtyard who have used a thick and dense black gauze lampshade to block the light of the lamp after lighting it at night, so that there is still some light in the house, but it is basically invisible from the outside.

Unless someone deliberately sticks it up close and looks closely, you can see the lights lit in the house, so there is no need to worry about causing trouble for the army to find themselves, many large families will prepare this kind of thing, as for ordinary people's homes in order to save fuel at night to sleep, which can use this thing.

In this bungalow, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties was carefully examining the map on the desk, and this person was Lian Yucheng, one of the three Goguryeo Han people who had been recruited by Wang Ze at the beginning. ”

The map in front of me is the map of the Donghae Peninsula, including the entire territory of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, this map is very carefully marked, except for the sparsely populated places in the east and northeast, the richest Pyongyang city in Goguryeo has been described in detail all the way to Liaodong City and Comfort City, and it can be said that nearly half of Goguryeo's mountains and rivers are all on it.

Even Yu Cheng found that there are some places around Pyongyang City that even he doesn't know as a local, but there are also detailed marks on it, including a small road that he walked on when he was a child, and then he forgot it, and now he found it when he compared.

It seems that the little marquis has long had other thoughts about Goguryeo, but he doesn't know when he will do it, he admires the person who surveyed and mapped this map very much, just such a map feels like the world is in front of you.

Moreover, this map does not closely depict the topography of Goguryeo's mountains and rivers, but also provides an analysis of various parts of Goguryeo, and according to the map, the large plains around Pyongyang City are evaluated as the richest places in Goguryeo.

In addition, the lower reaches of the Mahyeongsu (Yalu River), where the old capital of Goguryeo is located, have also been mapped very clearly, and the plains along this large river are also the richest places of Goguryeo, although not as much as the more affluent Pyongyang Fortress, but it is also one of the highest places in Goguryeo.

However, the originally rich place of Makyeongsu has been surpassed by the Han River Plain, which Goguryeo Shin recaptured from Baekje Silla, and there are also some rough evaluations of various parts of Liaodong.

In addition, some of the tribes in the Goguryeo territory that were not very obedient were also divided into small pieces and colored marked, and those small pieces were all the territories of the great nobles who did not obey the royal family very much in the Goguryeo land, basically distributed in the north, east and south.

These are all potential internal hidden dangers in Goguryeo, and as long as they are used properly, they can even be worth the power of tens of thousands of troops.

Just when Lian Yucheng was looking carefully, at this time, someone suddenly lightly buckled two long and three short outside the door, and Lian Yucheng, who was listening attentively, hurriedly collected the map on the desk carefully, and then stepped forward to open the door, and a thin black shadow came in from the outside.

The person who came in was wearing a special night suit with black, blue and gray and light gray, this kind of night camouflage clothing was easy to be ignored in the night, and with the small body of the black shadow, no one would notice it when he hid in the night.

"Brother Lian, there's news!" The thin black shadow took off the masked black cloth from his face as he spoke, and it turned out to be just a thin young man in his twenties, judging from the actions he had just made when he entered the house, he must be a master of light skills. It's easy

Lian Yucheng didn't rush to reply, he looked left and right to see that there was no one else in the courtyard, then gently closed the door again, and inserted the thick door bolt, and then asked softly: "Dongzi, do you know where they hid those Han people?" If you can do this well, the above rewards are not ordinarily small, enough for you to buy hundreds of acres of land here! ”

This thin young man in black is called Han Dong, a master recruited by Lian Yucheng after returning to Pyongyang City, and his family was also a prominent Han Chinese family in Goguryeo, and was once canonized as a prince by the Goguryeo royal family, but in the evolution of power for hundreds of years, he was eventually defeated because of the mistake of taking sides.

When Lian Yucheng came to Pyongyang City with Dong Laoshun, the only shopkeeper assigned to him by Wang Ze, he didn't have a usable person in his hands, and Lao Dong only served as the shopkeeper of the store to cover Lian Yucheng, and he couldn't help with anything else.

Fortunately, at that time, Lian Yucheng met Han Dong, who was in despair and couldn't even eat, so under the rule of a good fate, he was just thinking of finding a guy who could do coolies, but he found a master.

In fact, for Han Dong, who has been born and raised in Goguryeo for hundreds of years, he has never known what national righteousness, as long as he can have delicious food every day in the future, and save some money to buy hundreds of acres of land, marry a wife with a big ass and give birth to a bunch of sons, it will be very good.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Lian Yucheng's words, he immediately became a little excited but suppressed his voice and said: "Today I overheard it in a place where the master of the Xingtai is located, saying that last year, Gao Huizhen, the lord of the southern navy, complained to people, saying that the navy under the command of Gao Yue, the governor of the northern navy, had crossed the line, and I heard that Gao Yue had also repaired ships in the southern consolation city at that time!" ”

Han Dong secretly looked at Lian Yucheng as he spoke, and saw that Lian Yucheng's face was excited, so he continued with confidence: "Then when I passed by a post house just now, I heard two officers inside talking at night, saying that there are thousands of slaves to be escorted to Fuyu City from here, and there are many women and children inside, so it is very difficult to act!" ”

Han Dong looked at Lian Yu Chengdao, who was becoming more and more excited: "Therefore, another officer said that these people were brought back by Gao Yue and them, so they should be transported to Buyeo City by boat!" It's a lot easier! ”

The more Lian Yucheng listened, the more excited he became, and he could now say with great certainty that these Hermes-Epitek must be the ones who were taken away in the first place, which was originally just his own speculation, and others didn't believe it.

Previously, Lian Yucheng also wrote to Jian Yu of Liaodong City in the north and Bo Haotu of Weili City in the south to cooperate with his investigation, but both of them refused, but Lian Yucheng trusted his instincts, so he insisted on investigating, and now it has been confirmed that these people were robbed by the Goguryeo.

If this news can be successfully sent to the little marquis Wang Ze, then with the little marquis's heart, there will definitely be a heavy reward.

Thinking of this, Lian Yucheng excitedly hugged Han Dong's small body and said, "Dongzi, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune!" Ha ha! The feeling of wanting to roar loudly, but having to forcibly suppress it, made Han Dongdu's scalp tingle.

After a long time, Lian Yu Cheng recovered, and he whispered to Han Dong: "You will go out early tomorrow morning, go to the riverside and find a restaurant with a black wine gourd and wine flag, and tell them to order a fast boat to buy woolen wool in Beisha City, and they will arrange it for you!" ”

Saying that, Lian Yucheng handed a glass bead with an ordinary color to Han Dongdao: "You can keep this thing well, and show them this thing when the time comes!" ”

Han Dong looked at this glass bead seriously, the only special thing was that there was a lotus flower in it, so he cherished it, and then asked Lian Yucheng suspiciously: "Brother Lian, don't you need to shout Wang Da and Sun Hai?" ”

Wang Da is a hunter in the eastern mountains recruited by Lian Yucheng, who is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, because he offended the slaves of the local soapy ancestors, so he was ruined by the whole family, and he hated the Goguryeo government very much.

Sun Hai is a seventeen-year-old young man, because Lian Yucheng paid to cure his only younger brother, and sent his younger brother to Changzhou, and also received two hundred acres of land, so he is also willing to do things for the East China Sea, and now the two have been sent out and have not returned.

Lian Yu Cheng said: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, this is related to thousands of lives!" As long as you do a good job this time, not only will you have great benefits, but your children and grandchildren will also be wiped out in the future! ”

After sending Han Dong away, Lian Yucheng was full of thoughts, although Goguryeo's national strength is still strong, but when Goguryeo moved the national capital from the domestic city to Pyongyang City, the extravagant pleasures of the domestic aristocratic ministers became more and more popular, and it seemed that it was also an object that could be opened.

With the strong combat effectiveness of the army under the command of the little marquis, it is not impossible to seize part of the Goguryeo territory, but last year, the little marquis did not even occupy the territory of Baekje and Silla, and I am afraid that he will not immediately take action against Goguryeo, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

Even Yu Cheng didn't know about Wang Ze's disarmament, thinking of this, he looked at the north and south sides respectively and thought in his heart: "Old Jane, uncle, don't blame me for not greeting you in advance!" This is a great opportunity that you missed! ”
